Russell Sage Cluster

Butterfield & Russell Sage

Butterfield/Russell Sage Floor Plans

These two popular halls sit on the north side of Tuck Mall, part of the 45-acre Hitchcock Estate donated to the College in 1912. Russell Sage was completed in 1923. Butterfield, the last of the pre-World War II residence halls, was constructed in 1940 through the generosity of philanthropist Ralph Butterfield, Class of 1839. In 1989 the two halls were architecturally linked by the "Hyphen," which includes a spacious lounge area and fully equipped kitchen.

Butterfield and Russell Sage are primarily first-year communities (except Butterfield third floor) for the 2007-08 academic year. First-year students are assigned primarily to two-room triples, doubles, and singles.  The Hyphen, which connects Russell Sage with Butterfield, provides a kitchen, TV room, and common meeting space for cluster residents.

  • Butterfield - 55 beds
  • Russell Sage - 119 beds

Fahey & McLane

Fahey & McLane Floor Plans
All floor plans are PDF files and will open in a new window.

Fahey and McLane halls, which will house 162 students in singles, suites and two-room doubles, sit to the west of Russell Sage and across from the Gold Coast. Fahey Hall, the east residence, follows the rhythm of the adjacent buildings, while McLane Hall, the west residence, angles slightly to the north, following Tuck Drive.

A southwest-facing glass connector between Fahey and McLane will offer sweeping views of Tuck Mall and contain the primary social spaces serving the cluster: a commons room, living room, and lounges, as well as kitchens on each floor.

Fahey and McLane halls will be a mixed-class community with upperclass students living primarily on McLane ground and first floors and in suites.  First-year students reside primarily in two-room doubles and singles.

  • Fahey - 62 beds
  • McLane - 99 beds
